WATCH: Terrified ‘Tea Party Patriot’ realizes he could lose Obamacare if GOP wins in 2016

A conservative video blogger with over a million views on YouTube said this week that he would likely vote for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton because he was terrified that a Republican president would take away his affordable health insurance. “And I’m serious because I asked myself, ‘Which party has helped me out the most in the last, I don’t know, 15 years, 20?’ And it was the Democrat (SIC) Party,”

Webb lamented. “If it wasn’t for Obama and that Obamacare, I would still be working.” “With Obamacare, I got to retire at age 50 because if it wasn’t for Obamacare, I would have had to work until I was 65 and get on Medicare because health insurance is expensive when you’ve got medical problems,” he continued...

“...But you know, the Republican Party, they haven’t done nothing for me, man. Nothing,” he remarked. “So, I’m leaning toward voting for Hillary unless something major comes up. I don’t trust the Republicans anymore because they’re wanting to repeal the Obamacare. And I don’t want them to do that, man, because then I’ll have to go to work again. My life’s already planned out.”

1. If that sentiment is real and more widespread, the GOP could be screwed

2. A Republican couple that my husband knows were just saved with Obamacare

They lost their Medicaid coverage since Rick Scott would not approve the Medicaid expansion. On full disability with an income of only $1800 a month this fully disabled couple that is no longer able to work lost their Medicaid. Without regular visits to their various specialists they are in serious danger of sudden death. As it is, the husband had to cancel an eye care check up which was drastically needed since he's near to unable to read.

They were in a complete panic until my husband (per my suggestion) gave them the toll free number for HealthCare.gov. Within a few hours of relaying that number to them, he got a call back and they are now covered by a policy they could not afford without Obamacare. It will still cost them $115 a month for the Silver Plan they selected but that will be affordable while paying for health coverage out of pocket would be impossible.

I told my husband that they need to think about who they vote for in the future. They voted for Rick Scott and for Mitt Romney. If they vote Republican in the future they are not only dumbasses, they are suicidal in my opinion.

7. Parody?

Is everyone sure this is not a parody. Some of the things this guy said sound like a parody. I realize that a number of Tea Party members are hypocrites, but Tea Party members are supposed to be against some of the things he said. He talks about not wanting to go back to work. Tea Party members are supposed to be opposed to people who do not want to work. He claimed he did not want Republicans to repeal Obamacare. Tea Party members are supposed to be opposed to Obamacare from the start. He also said he was in the Army when Reagan was President and he enjoyed being in the Army during that time.

11. I was thinking the same thing

Isn't he illustrating that Democrats allow people to "get away with" not working by letting them fall back on entitlements? And he's equating Obamacare (health care) with disability/welfare ("not working&quot here.

Also, Hillary has been laying it on pretty thick with her emphasis on "hard work" being the identifying feature of the choir she's preaching to.

My call: it's a trap!

8. Thank you!

9. This is like the old company store where the company owned the grocery store, you lived in a

company house, your kids went to a company school and you went to a company doctor if you were sick or injured. You become a slave to the company and learn not to rock the boat, make demands or change jobs unless you get a job where you can buy all those things with a paycheck. Those are the days the 1% want to return to. Without affordable and portable health insurance American workers are prisoners to their employers whims.
